Preparation of Ag Nanowire Array Electrode by Transplantation and its Electrochemical Activities

Abstract

Ordered Ag nanowire array electrodes were prepared by transplantation, in which Ag nanowire array embedded in anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template was transplanted onto the surface of kryptol electrode. Its morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the electrochemical behaviors for methylene blue were investigated by means of cyclic voltammertry. The experimental results show that the array electrode exhibits high electrocatalytic activities of methylene blue on the Ag nanowire array electrode.
